The Lottery

NEVER! The only ones that have won are the homeless townies that live in my non favorite folder in the household view. I wouldn't mind if some of my Sims that are housed or even the homeless ones that actually reside in my favorites, would win but no. Never.

In my installs it's mostly "homeless" sims who win the lottery (and in a way, that's fair because they have nothing). Still all of my sims gets a ticket if the holiday comes up when played. But one of my families did win once. But they did have quite a lot of money already as the man had earned a good amount as a freelance programmer and his wife were very high in the bodybuilding career.

And once I did create a single female sim who did look fancy but just hat the default money that every sim gets. I did not move her in anywhere. Instead I closed down the game and re-launched it a few hours later. Playing a sim who I did sent to Brindleton Bay I did notice that the winner of the lottery was announced. And who did win if not my freshly created sim who didn't even have a ticket... That's unfair! :| (But quite funny).

So many years of playing original sims and not winning the pretend-lottery. I recently put my sim-self and my daughter's sim-self into the game, played them, then won! I immediately purchased Hogsmeade, because I do what I want. o.o

It's so unfortunate how that lottery win turned out to be a scam and all the money was lost again. Tragic. ;)

There are times like this I wish there was still a lol button! Lol

Nope, never. Everytime the holiday comes up I will get anyone in the family who can buy one to buy one, but I have never once been lucky.

My Sims always buy lottery tickets. I've had only one Sim win it.

He's still living in the two-bedroom, §65,000 house in Newcrest I gave him in at the start of the game, although I did cheat §65K out of his account to have him buy the house honestly. Unless he's told his family, nobody knows he's got nearly a million Simoleons. Right now he's still living his life they way he did the day before he bought his ticket.

Like some of you, I wish there were some secondary prizes.

no none of my played sims have ever won

Once, so far. Usually it's townies/NPCs or strays that win in my game - Mayor Whiskers is a favorite lol.

Twice. The first time wasn't technically my sim that won but a NPC (Summer Holiday) that he added to the household. It actually was a bummer because I was playing the cult/commune challenge which is set up to be a money struggle. The second was actually my sim that won, but money wasn't really an issue so it really didn't matter. Also she was yet another challenge I was playing, the super sim challenge.

Nope :( Would be nice if my teen could play the lottery... I've heard animals have won it in other simmer's game. I cannot say I've kept track with who has in my own to remember any.
